We’re pleased to launch the second set of eight new artist posters featuring projects by Andrea Mortson, Céline Huyghebaert, Jon Klassen and Laura Watson. They are each autonomous works, but can also be read collectively through the lens of the pandemic, with subject matter such as fear, safety and mortality.
Andrea Mortson
Dream of being lost on the way home
18x24"
Dream of being lost on the way home, is part of a series of analog collages made during the first year of the pandemic. It explores the neighbourhood where shrinking landscapes and growing dreamscapes comingle.
This work was created with the support of the New Brunswick Arts Board. Cette piéce a été créée avec le soutien du Conseil des arts du Nouveau-Brunswick.
